> A quirk of Chilean law makes land, mining and water rights independent of each other. Mr Johnson made sure to acquire all three, particularly the water rights. "In the future, wars will be fought over water," he says.
Sounds like he'll have to purchase some nukes next, then ;D
- baddox 13y agoFor obvious reasons, nuclear weapons aren't the best weapons for securing water rights.
- dualogy 13y agoOK, arms. As non-native speaker wasn't aware "nukes" always refers to nuclear weapons.. TIL!
- XorNot 13y agoActually they are - you ensure no one could successfully start the war for water. Of course, if you need it, then it may be worth rolling the dice regardless.
